For the first time since preseason camp, members of the Ohio State press corps had the opportunity to watch practice for about 30 minutes on Tuesday afternoon as the Buckeyes held their second practice of Rose Bowl week in Southern California.
A total of 63 scholarship players were spotted by Eleven Warriors during the portion of practice that was open to the media. Not including players who have entered the transfer portal since the end of the regular season, that meant that 18 scholarship players were not seen at practice.
The list of absences from practices included several notable defenders.
